Conduits

Becoming a storage facility is a necessary accomplishment, but what I really long to become when I grow up is a conduit. For my entire Christian life span, I have heard the admonition, "Let Him have His way". The meaning of the expression has always been clear, but Pastor's message last Sunday shone an even brighter light on the subject. Two bodies of water, one, The Sea of Galilee, is alive and ever lives, bringing forth more abundant life; The other, The Dead Sea, is dead and continues a steady pace of dying, even though gifted with the same living water as the other. The results of the Dead Sea's inability to let the Jordan River have its way is not only a sentence of death but a 'receding' kind of continual death because it allows no outlet. We can be grateful that The Dead Sea is in contrast to even Nature's Way, and is the exception and not the rule. Moreover, God's way in us is to both receive and share Him(let Him flow through and out of us), resulting in our being, not a bank or storage facility, but a conduit, a powerful way to let God have His way. 110919PoSoup
